Tour Highlights

Operating beneath the highest peak in the world, the famous Everest Base Camp Trek is really an iconic trekking route. This 12-day journey is combined with great sceneries, deep culturally rich experiences, and sensational mountain feelings. It is the trek to the heart of the Khumbu Region, following footsteps left by formidable mountaineers, and starting with a fascinating flight from Kathmandu to Lukla. The trekkers pass along quaint Sherpa settlements en route, like Namche Bazaar, a thriving center of the Khumbu Valley. Higher in the Himalayas, the trail opens up to breathtaking views of the most famous peaks: Ama Dablam, Lhotse, and of course, Everest itself.

Regrettably, the highest achievement of this journey lies in getting one to Everest Base Camp, a place where climbers prepare for their voyages to the summit. Indeed, anyone who does the trek will never forget such awe: standing in the shadow of this majestic peak, encircled by the breathtaking Khumbu Icefall. Trekkers return to Lukla after experiencing the beauty of Everest, full of a sense of accomplishment and lifetime memories.

Visits to Everest Base Camp Trek are very enjoyable in the spring-from March to May-and in autumn-from September to November. In both seasons, there is hardly any chance of rainfall, with continued and appropriate weather patterns and pleasant temperatures for trekking. Accordingly, the monsoon season-from June to August-is totally avoided because of high levels of precipitation and heavy overcast skies, resulting in slick routes that make hiking very dangerous and cumbersome.

It is also similar in that trekking becomes kind of more difficult and less pleasant between the winter months of December and February due to their low temperatures, snowfall, and generally inclement weather.
